8. What is IoT ?
“The data are no longer in the
computers. We have come to see that
the computers are in the data"
Trillions: Thriving In The Emerging Information Ecology

9. Things
● Addressable
● Connected to the Internet
● Sensor / Actuator → Event driven
● Intelligent (smart)
● Localizable (GNSS)

20. Low Power is the key
● New restrictions
– Memory
– CPU process
– % duty cycling
● Every single bit is
valuable

27. IoT Alliances
● AllJoin (https://allseenalliance.org/)
– Free & Open source code
– Common API over various transport layers

28. IoT Alliances
● Open Interconnect (http://openinterconnect.org)
– Still close & unclear
– Working on interoperability

29. Conclusions
● Vertical Technology convergence → Single
solution (standard) for vertical market (maybe?)
● Basestation / concentrators → Utilities
– Network Operators: Vodafone, Orange, etc.
– Service Operators: Sigfox, Avertis, etc.
– New challenges on Basestation / GW Side
● Virtualization of apps
● Shared Radio Interfaces
● QoS
● SLA
